denIy Passes Away.
Jack souyiIe Times-Union

WASHINGTON, January 16.-General
W. b. Hazen, Chief Signal Officer, L.
S. A, died at Washington, ID. c.. of dia-
bette coma. at o'clock, this evening.
He had suffered from diabetes for some
years, but of late had improved in health
and strength, and hopes were entertained
of his complete recovery. At the recep-
ton to the diplomatic corps given by the
President, he took a severe cold, causing
him TO keep his bed on the 18th. On the
18th instant he W as up and reported him
self much improved. saying he would go
to his office on Monday.
On Sunday morning his physician. p.
F. Harvey, Z. s. A.. waI summoned TO
see him soon after daylight. He at once
repaired to his rooms and found an
alarming change in his condition, sug-
costing poisoning of the blood from his
constitutional disease. He at once
adopted measures to overcome this con-
dItion and restore his strength. A con-
sultation was also at once sought with
DIR. ID l.. Huntington, of the army, who
a. reed in the main with the attending
physicians.
The case was deemed of so extreme
gravity that his relations in the city were
informed. and they at once gathered
about him and spared no effort to bring
him relief. Some improvement resulted
lTODl the IftdtIneut, Dut tOWdIu cNtu-
ing his symptoms became aggravated,
and, at the request of his family, DIR. Lin
coin met Drs. Harvey and Huntington in
consultation. Every measure that skill
or science could suggest failed To rally
the sinking officer, and he breathed his
last at O'Clock in the evening. His final
illness was not accompanied by suffering,
and his death was calm and without a
struggle.
The information of General Hazen's
death was convened Immediately by Col.
Huntington and Capt. Greeley to the Sec
rotary OF War, who communicated the
sad intelligence to the President. The
General of the Army, who was adj
vised by telegraph. will be conferred
with by Captain Greeley in behalf of
General Hazen's family, as to the mill
tary honors to be paid the deceased. Ow-
ing to the delicate condition of Mr..
McLane's health, the funeral will take
place from st. Johns Church. Mrs.
Hazen, who is in France, has been noti-
fled by cable, and will return immedi-
ately to America.

Irrigation.

The cheapness of artesian wells in this
section and the abundant flow of water
obtalnable therefrom, encourage their
use for irrigating purposes. And the
sulphur water has been found to possess
fertilizing properties instead of being in
furious to the trees as was at first feared
it would he. An inspection of any one
of dozen groves near Palatka, would
set at rest forever any fears as to the DOS
session by our aitesian water of any
properties dangerous to the orange tree
AT Norwalk. in this county, several
neighbors have joined to erect a wind
mill for purposes of irrigation, and in
this case the water is drawn from lake
instead of deep in the earth and is rain
water instead of being impregnated with
sulphur. etc. 1t is merely question as
to price between different methods of Sc
curing the desired result, but the time is
not far distant when every large grove
in the State will have ample facilities
for proper irrigation. Sometimes during
May and June, Just when the fruit is
setting, we have prolonged drought,
and If we cannot correct the parsimony
of nature by artificial means, the effects
are felt when the day of reckoning
comes. And the possession of power
over a certain amount of water insures a
good kitchen garden throughout the
year even if there is neither need nor
desire to raise vegetables for profit.

A Governor that Governs.
Philadelphia Times

There Ia one Governor In the United
States who believes that Governors are
elected to govern and who acts up to his
belief. His name is jeremiah Rusk, of
Wisconsin. Governor Rusk que1led q
SOcialistic mob at Milwaukee, last spring.
by the aid of the militia, and as a result
law and order prevail in that State at
this time TO "A more perfect degree than
in any other State in the Union. The
defeated Anarchists declared that Cover
nor Rusk should not receive another
party nomination for Governor, but he
did. They then declared he should be
defeated at the polls. but he wasn't.
The Governor, having been indorsed by
a majority Of the voters of his State,
takes occasion in his message to the new
Legislature, now in session at the capital
of Wisconsin, to lay down the true
American view of the imported Socialis-
tic theories of Nc st, Aveiing, and their
entire crowd of disOrganiZers of society.
This he does on the simple proposition
that "they are as un-American as mon
archy and as reasonable as secession"
A whole volume could not have ex-
pressed more, and all the Anarchists in
ChristendOm cannot cOntrOvert the truth
of this epigrammatic statement. This
sentence shout I be pasted in the hats of
every Governor and every subordinate
executive officer chars ed with the main
tenance of order and the execution of the
law in the United States.
